If you loved Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte, try Kiss Me Deadly

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Robert Aldrich, and they both carry the paranoid mood tag, and they sit in Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Kiss Me Deadly is

Night. A lonely road. Headlights. Mike Hammer picks up a terrified woman fleeing an asylum, then wakes to find her dead and himself a target. He hunts her killers, suspecting they sought something of immense value. Aldrich’s bleak vision of noir makes cynicism an art.
